Assuming we manage to not wipe ourselves out in the coming decades (or centuries) and come to the point of entering a technological singularity, what decision would you take, would you participate or choose not to?
Would you be willing to artifically augment your mind, or perhaps even 'upload' it entirely to the point of abandoning mortality as we currently know it, or would you continue as you are, perhaps out of fear, perhaps for reasons of faith, or perhaps simply because you would be happy and content to continue living as you are ?

I'm a simple, old fashioned woman at heart, so it's very unlikely I'd be interested
Very interesting question. Life is about living so death is a part of life. If you take away death, life will no longer have a meaning. Technology is already making our lives dull and uneventful.
I think I rather burn fast and bright and go out with a bang.
Lol at the MS comments Looks like it's pretty much 50/50 then. I think I'd give it a lash myself so long as I knew one of my chancer mates wouldn't try upload me into a toaster or one of those fancy japanese sprinkler toilets.
